Free Events This Week: Santa, Spider-Man, and Streisand in Drag

And so it begins: tryptophan comas, football fanaticism, doorbuster madness, and copious amounts of booze to make it all bearable. Six straight weeks of holiday insanity starts now.

But if you have a moment to spare in this food/football/family-fueled week, there's lots of good stuff going on. So when you tire of brainstorming creative things to do with 37 pounds of leftover turkey -- turkey cupcakes anyone? -- you can head out for a little free fun.
